Real Analysis: Understanding You, Not Just Your Labs
At our clinic, we believe that true healing begins with a deep understanding of each individual patient. Our Real Analysis approach goes beyond just reviewing lab results; it encompasses a comprehensive assessment of your health, lifestyle, and personal experiences. This holistic understanding allows us to provide more accurate diagnoses and more effective treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.
How Others Do It
If you’ve ever seen a Naturopath or Functional Medicine doctor, you may have had this experience. You come in chronically ill, exhausted, non-functional. You fill out boatloads of paperwork that is minimally reviewed, and then you get sent out for thousands of dollars’ worth of lab tests. You wait weeks for the results, and when they do come back, they are accompanied by a “treatment plan” that tells you what to do to correct each individual lab value. Usually that consists of multiple supplements for each flagged lab, and it’s up to you to take this list of interventions and figure out how to implement them in your life. You will never have that experience at Shark Holistic Health.
What to Expect
Holistic Health Assessment
Our process starts with a thorough health assessment that includes a detailed review of your entire medical history, current symptoms, and lifestyle factors such as diet, stress levels, sleep patterns, and physical activity. This information provides a complete picture of your overall health and well-being.
Personalized Interviews
Paperwork and lab tests do not replace time spent listening to you. You are the expert on your body, your history and your experience. We take the time to listen to you to understand exactly what is going on. Many important clues are buried in that conversation, clues that paperwork and lab tests may not reveal.
Detailed Symptom Analysis
We take the time to listen to your symptoms and understand how they impact your daily life. Because of our backgrounds in Chinese Medicine, Functional Medicine, Paramedicine and Nutrition, we are able to put the puzzle together to help you understand the real underlying conditions and exactly what you need to do to heal them.
Functional Medicine Approach
Our Real Analysis method incorporates the principles of functional medicine, which focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease. We consider the complex interactions between your health history, environment, and lifestyle that influence your health.
Integrative Diagnostics
Lab tests can offer all kinds of wonderful information about what may be going on under the surface, inside your body, but you are not a collection of negative and positive lab results. You are a human person with a body, and inside that body you have multiple systems that are interdependent. That means that labs individually do not tell the story. The lab results need to be looked at together, as a collection of information and then that needs to be looked at together with your paperwork and history. This is the only way to discover a comprehensive understanding of the root causes or functional deficits that are playing the driving role in your current illness.
